Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Operating Instructions Manual page 33

You can zoom in up to 10 times with 'optical zoom', and up to 16.9 (DMC-TZ4: 15.9)
times with 'EX optical zoom' with lower picture quality. You can also use 'digital zoom' to
zoom in even further.
The enlargement ratio displayed in the bar on screen is an estimate.
In certain recording modes, TELE MACRO function (P.40) is activated when maximum
zoom ratio is reached.
A greater degree of distortion may be generated by taking wider-angled pictures of
close objects, while using more telescopic zoom may result in more coloring appearing
around the outlines of objects.
The camera may make a rattling noise and vibrate when the zoom lever is operated
– this is not a fault.
Extended optical zoom cannot be used in the following cases:
(MOTION PICTURE mode), 'HIGH SENS.', 'HI-SPEED BURST', and 'MULTI
ASPECT' (DMC-TZ5 only) scene modes
When using extended optical zoom, zoom movement may stop momentarily near
maximum W (1x), but this is not a fault.
'ZOOM RESUME' (P.25) allows zoom ratio to be memorized even if power is turned off.
